          Hardware: arm64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: arm
          Assignee: freebsd-arm@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: editor@callfortesting.org

Previous working versions: 14.x

Problematic version: 16.0-CURRENT main-n283573-a8e92198f854 GENERIC arm64

Interactive issue:

<space><space><backspace> under typescript gives:

root@arm^H^H^Hon^H^Hhoneycomb:~ #   ^M^[[30C^M
root@arm^H^H^Hon^H^Hhoneycomb:~ # exit^M

Typing 'vi typescript' gets 10 spaces inserted:
vi ty          pescript

        lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q;
        status = ^T; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W;

'stty erase ^?' does not resolve it.

Filing this as a bug because the default behavior has changed and it makes
console interactivity difficult. What information would help diagnose this?
